Live Blog: Democratic Candidates For St. Louis County Executive

Charlie Dooley and Steve Stenger join us on St. Louis on the Air ahead of the Aug. 5 primary for St. Louis County Executive.(We will also have the Republican candidates on the program on July 29) Join in the conversation here with your comments and questions.

Steve by his record is an effective council member the leadership issue on Google Fiber is about how many municipalities have to make the deal work beyond St. Louis county so what would Steve do to bring these municipalities together.

Stenger says his plan to build the county's economy would focus on workforce development and corporate infrastructure. Repeats how he wants to bring Google Fiber into the STL area. Would Google Fiber be enough to help STL County's economically languishing areas?

Talk of a city-county merger has been talked about for decades. Does somebody need the Better Together study to be completed in order to make a determination on whether it's philosophically a good or bad idea?

Thanks so much to all of you for joining us for today's live chat. We'll have a recap and more on stlpublicradio.org later today. Again, we'll have Republican candidates Rick Stream and Tony Pousosa on with us on July 29.
